The No-Makeup Menu

In my last post I talked you through some of my tips to get ready in the mornings with little effort and within minutes. I've been trying to go for a no-makeup style lately, cutting off a few stops from my routine and still looking wide awake.

My skincare routine has been getting more complex, giving me an opportunity to skip any sorts of foundations or bases and just go with a concealer and powder in some areas. I've been loving the Too Faced Born This Way concealer paired with the H&M Perfecting Powder to add a small amount of coverage. My go-to blush has been the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush in Mood Exposure, it's a very natural shade and the formula of these gives my cheeks a subtle and natural glow. After spending a bit more time with concealer, I go quite fast with the rest of my makeup. I've been doing my brows with Benefit's Precisely, My Brow Pencil simply because it's an easy product to use and the small point gives you the appearance of natural hairs. For the eyes, I keep it very simple and add a wash of color with the H&M Cream Eyeshadow in Champers all over the lid and finishing the look with the Benefit They're Real Tinted Primer Mascara in Beyond Brown for very defined lashes but in natural color. With a simple makeup like this, my lip color is where most of the fun resides. I've fallen in love all over again with my Lancôme Juicy Shakers, specially the shade Piece Of Cake, a subtle strawberry pink that makes the lips appear luscious.
